Saved! (Leizure)

See yon bark amid the break­ers

Struggling hard to reach the land;

See those brave and no­ble sail­ors

As they la­bor hand to hand:

Lightnings flash­ing

thun­ders roar­ing

Dangers threat­en all around;

Yet their cour­age does not fail them

Hoping safe­ty may be found.

Saved! oh

bless­èd thought to cher­ish;

Saved! we see the gold­en shore;

Clinging to the cross of Je­sus

There is safe­ty ev­er­more.

Soon the storm be­gins to weak­en

Light breaks forth

the tem­pest’s past;

Onward speeds the no­ble ves­sel

Onward

on­ward

saved at last:

Then those hearts are filled with glad­ness

Fear and sor­row reign no more;

Saved from ship­wreck

free from dan­ger

Saved! yes

saved! the storm is o’er.

Oh! how oft the storms o’er­take us

As through life we wend our way;

Clouds of dark­ness hang above us

Shutting out the sun’s bright ray:

Then we lift our eyes to Heav­en

Gazing t’ward th’eter­nal day;

And the light grows bright­er

bright­er

Ent’ring Heav­en—saved for aye!
